I *believe* the initials LPD originally stood for Long-lasting Paper Developer, though they no longer refer to it as such.

It is made by Ethol, a part of Brandess/Kalt/Aetna now. It can be purchased as either a powder (in a small can), or as a liquid. Around $10. for the one-gallon (stock solution) size. Dilution is anywhere from full-strength (very warm brown) to 1:4 (slightly warm).

They recommend 90-180 seconds of development - I use 75-90 and like the results, using Ilford MG RC Warmtone paper. This combo tones *very* easily in KRST, KBT, or sepia.



Jeffrey, please excuse my ignorance, but what is LPD?

LPD lasts a long time and its warmth can be varied by dilution. An old formula - still comes in a can.
